The Chipotle in Boardman will hold a fundraising event in March to support the Mahoning Valley Sojourn to the Past organization.
The Chipotle Fundraiser is an event where people can benefit a local cause while eating dinner from the restaurant. Those who want to participate in the fundraiser can visit Chipotle and order anything they want from the menu. The business will donate 33% of the sales made during the event. Contributions to the fundraiser will only count if the customer mentions the event to the cashier or brings a copy of the event flyer to the register.
Mahoning Valley Sojourn to the Past is a leadership development group for high schoolers that teaches them about hope, tolerance, and forgiveness. The founder of the organization is Penny Wells, who created the program after seeing a similar version during a conference in Orlando, Florida. Wells was a history teacher for Youngstown City Schools. The organization hosts workshops and events with professional speakers.
The Chipotle Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, March 9 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. No tickets are needed to enter the fundraiser, and customers do not need to register for the event. Those who order online for pickup can use the code 68Z4MJK to ensure their purchases count toward the fundraiser. Companies that hold similar money-raising events may use flyer printing to advertise their programs.
